Thank you for purchasing this Sony BRAVIA TM high-definition television. The quality of the image

you see on your BRAVIA TV is only as good as the quality of the signal it receives. To experience

the stunning detail of your new BRAVIA TV,you need access to HD programming. Your BRAVIA TV

can receive and display HD programming from:

• Over-the-air broadcasting via HD-quality antenna

• HD cable subscription

• HD satellite subscription

• Blu-ray Disc TM player or other external equipment

Contact your cable or satellite provider for information on upgrading to HD programming.

The Four Steps to Stunning HD Experience: Set, Sound, Source, and

Setup

Along with your BRAVIA TV set, a complete HD system requires an HD sound system, a

source of HD programming and proper setup connections. This manual explains basic setup

connections (see page 16). The Quick Setup Guide, enclosed separately, illustrates how to

connect other optional equipment.

Picture Quality and Aspect Ratio

You can enjoy crisp, clear images, smooth movement and high-impact visuals from 1080 HD

signals. When you compare a high-definition signal to a standard analog signal, you will notice

a big difference. The 1080 HD signals provide more than twice the vertical resolution of the

standard TV signal.

High-definition and standard-definition signals are transmitted with different aspect ratios (the

width-to-height ratio of the image). HDTV uses a wider screen than conventional standard-

definition TV.

16:9 (high-definition) source

Most HDTV signals use a wide screen aspect ratio

of 16:9. The 16:9 fills your BRAVIA screen,

maintaining a crisp, clear, vivid picture.

4:3 (standard-definition) source

Most standard-definition signals use a boxy 4:3

aspect ratio. When a 4:3 image is displayed on an

HDTV, you will see black bars on the sides. The

picture quality may not be as sharp as with HD

sources.

• You can use the Wide Mode flmction of the TV to adjust the 4:3 inaage to fit the entire screen (see pages 24, 32

and 34).

TV Home Menu: XMB TM (XrossMediaBar)

The XMB TM is a menu of BRAVIA features and input sources displayed on the TV screen. The

XMB TM is an easy way to select programming and adjust settings on your BRAVIA TV. Press

the HOME button on your remote control to access the XMB TM.

Category Object Bar

From the horizontal Media Category Bar you can control:

•Settings: timer, picture, sound, screen and other options (see page 30 for customization

options).

• TV Channels: available channels are displayed on the vertical Category Object Bar.

• External Inputs: cable, satellite, VCR, DVD players or other inputs can also be selected

from the Category Object Bar for the External Inputs.

• This manual is for the 26, 32 class, 40 and 46 inch BRAVIA KDL-S Series models with screen size measured

diagonally. The 32 class has a 31.5 inch viewable image size (measured diagonally).

1. Installing the TV

1Screw the support belt (supplied) to the TV

stand with a wood screw (supplied).

2 Attach the support belt to the Table-Top Stand

with the securing screw (supplied) using a

coin, etc.

3 Adjust the length by pulling the support belt

toward you while holding the Table-Top

Stand.

• Be sure to take measures to prevent the TV from

toppling over and causing injury.

• The supplied wood screw may not be used depending

on the type of TV stand. In this case, or when the

securing strength is not enough, use commercial

screws l/s to 3/1(-, inch (3 to 4 ram) diameter to fit to the

TV stand. Consult your dealer about the types of

screw(s).

This TV can be installed on a wall by using a Wall-

Mount Bracket (sold separately). Before mounting

the TV on a wall, the Table-Top Stand must be

removed from the TV.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any reason

other than to wall-mount the TV.

Follow the simple steps below to remove the

Table-Top Stand:

1Disconnect all the cables from the TV.

2Gently lay the TV, face down, onto a level and

stable surface covered with a thick and soft

cloth. Make sure the Table-Top Stand is

hanging over the edge.

3 Remove the screws as shown in the

illustration for your model and pull the Table-

Top Stand out.

4 Do not remove any other screws from tile TV.

• Be sure to store the removed screws and Table-Top

Stand in a sate place until you are ready to reattach the

Table-Top Stand. Keep the screws away from small

children.

• For bracket installation, refer to the instruction guide

provided by the Wall-Mount Bracket model t_r your

TV. Sufficient expertise is required in installing this

TV, especially to determine the strength of the wall for

withstanding the TV's weight.

•For product protection and safety reasons, Sony

strongly recommends that you use the Wall-Mount

Bracket model designed for your TV and the wall-

mounting of your TV should be performed by a

Sony dealer or licensed contractor.

Models: KDL-26S3000/KDL-32S3000

Remove 3 designated screws only. Models: KDL-40S3000/KDL-46S3000
